Media Monitoring of the Transitional Phase in Egypt the Supreme Council of Armed Forces, Justice System, Parties and Elections July 2011 - January 2012
27 May 2012
Privately owned media outlets and the Internet played a major role prior to and following the revolution of 25 January. They highlighted several important issues pertaining to the corruption of the former regime and exposed many of the practices of the security services that violated human rights, such as torture, enforced disappearance, and indifference to the rule of law, provoking conflicting public opinion that paved the way for the outbreak of the revolution and the overthrow of the former regime.
The workshop came in the framework of "Media Observation during the Democratic Transformation Phase in Egypt" project. The workshop covered the roles of the Supreme Council for Armed Forces, Judiciary and Political Parties, during the parliamentary electoral process in Egypt.
